My Space

I did it. I created my own space. I decided to call it my space instead of a Vision Board. It’s so much more than a vision board. It is MY PLACE. No one can put crap on it or touch it. It is a place I can look at, touch and BREATH.

i started with removing all the crap. There is crap everywhere that I am working on (now that I have more time). First I purchased a Scentsy wickless candle burner and some scents. I wanted a nice piece of fabric to cover the dresser top. I picked the fabric up at Jo-anns and the fake orchids (both on sale). I would love to have a real orchid but I have too many “live” things to “properly” care for and right now I can’t add another. The pictures are from one of favorite place to buy sports bras Title 9. I haven't bought clothes from there yet but I hope too someday. Even thought they have XL, I still feel like I am too big and I will be majorly disappointed. Plus most of the styles are not for the well endowed like myself.

It’s a work in progress, isn’t everything these days. I want to add some old pics, some quotes, etc.

In a house of 2 young boys and a husband it is hard to have a space to myself. Our house is modest but it is a home and I am thankful. I tried to avoid getting the rest of my Master bedroom in the picture. The room needs major work.

About this Blog

What does FIT mean to me. It encompasses my life. Its about balance. Its about exercise being a regular part of my day, like getting dressed. It's a state of mind where food has no control. Urges, binges and out of control eating never happen. A place where life is at an even pace even during chaos.

This is my sounding board for my journey to find the fit girl within. I know she's in there somewhere. I am 40, married with 2 beautiful, crazy, insane, fun boys - a 9 year old and a 4 year old. I stay at home to run my house and raise my boys and volunteer all over time. My highest weight (not pregnant) is 232 (in 2007). It might have been higher at some point but that's is the highest recorded I know of.

I have been writing here for sometime. I have had a roller coaster of a journey and as many failures as successes. I reached my lowest of 185 in about April 2011. It's now 2013 and in the summer I've topped out at about 225. I am working an me and bringing the fit girl back in my daily life.
